Battle of Britain is a 1969 British Second World War film directed by Guy Hamilton and produced by Harry Saltzman and S. Benjamin Fisz. The film documents the events of the Battle of Britain. The film drew many respected British actors to accept roles as key figures of the battle, including Laurence Olivier as Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding, Trevor Howard as Air Vice-Marshal Keith Park, and Patrick Wymark as Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, Air Officer commanding No. 12 Group RAF. It also starred Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer and Robert Shaw as Squadron Leaders. The script by James Kennaway and Wilfred Greatorex was based on the book The Narrow Margin by Derek Wood and Derek Dempster.

Imagine seeing this film when it first came out, this whole movie still blows me away with its realism in 2023

I agree. Imagine being one of the veterans who were there seeing it. The memories it must have brought back.

Jesus, they must've spent half the effects budget on this scene alone. That's a whole lot of explosives and models getting wrecked, and some actual buildings too.

The hangar that gets blown up is at / was at the Imperial War Museum Duxford. Apparently the film crew didn’t ask the Ministry of Defence first!

The shots starting at 03:10 are one of the most beautifully cinematic depictions of the "heroic few against all odds" that I have ever seen in a film.

It's a squadron scramble sir, don't be wet, get me the duty controller, we've only just come down, we're still refuelling, tell control, don't just stand there, get one up

I’ve read that the first 1:30 was filmed at what is now the Imperial War Museum Duxford. To quote Wikipedia… “On 21 June and 22 June, one of the original World War I hangars was blown up in stages for the filming (without the concurrence of the Ministry of Defence) and the airfield was spectacularly filmed from the air in a realistic bombing sequence. Ironically this was the nearest [RAF Duxford] came to being destroyed as no significant wartime German raids were carried out on the aerodrome. The French château, seen at the beginning of the film, was constructed on the south-west corner of the airfield.

Recommend Leonard Mosley's book. Great behind the scenes stuff.

3:39 look how the spitfire who got hit by a bomb and it slides towards the fuel lorry and that’s where it blew up again

@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329 Месяц назад

2:33 that is one spitfire not so fortunate to escape the bombing

Those bombs going off look small, but the shrapnel kill zone was larger anyone with in 50-75 yards were hit.

Later, in the Blitz, the Germans had to develop larger bombs

This what the Ukrainian Air Force must have been going through in late February

I have the book about the making of magnificent film my favourite i may add they didn't tell anyone out the set that they were going to blow up Duxford there were calls to the local fire station and they had no idea what was going and when they got there " oh it's only a film we are just doing a bit of shooting 😅
